What are Oil Seals – A guide to Oil and Rotary Shaft Seals

A standard oil seal consists of an outer circular metal disk with an inner flexible rubber which is affixed to the metal during vulcanization. The bonded seal has no loose parts to allow leakage of oil or ingress of any contaminants. This kind of seal is more accurate, and can easily be fitted into a smaller space. An example is shown in Figure 2.9.

QUALITIES OF MECHANICAL SEAL
Type code
Seals are classified by O.D. wall material, lip type, and whether they have a spring or not.
Major oil seals are specified in ISO 6194-1 and JIS B 2402-1.
Table 2 shows the common types of oil seals, while Table 3 shows the features of each type of oil seal.
Table 4 lists the JTEKT oil seal type codes and corresponding ISO and JIS standards.

Oil seals, which are also known as rotary shaft seals, fluid seals or grease seals, play an important role in closing down the gaps between moving and stationary elements of mechanical equipment.
Silicone and rubber gaskets offer numerous advantages, including resistance to temperature extremes, chemicals, and environmental factors. Their flexibility and resilience allow for effective sealing in dynamic and challenging conditions. Additionally, these gaskets provide vibration dampening, noise reduction, and electrical insulation, making them valuable components in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
